Lie to Me
Deceptive Love: Embracing Lies to Preserve a Fragile Heart
Lyrics
I know I'm losin' you, I feel it all the time
I am aware that I am losing you, and this feeling is persistent.
And I know if I lose you, then I'll lose my mind
If I lose you, it will have a significant impact on my mental state.
So Lie To Me, Lie To Me, make me believe everything you say
Ask me to believe your lies to make the situation more bearable.
Just, lie, lie, lie, li-i-ie, I'd rather have it that way
Encourage dishonesty, expressing a preference for comforting lies.
Nobody told me you were cheating
Discovering that you are unfaithful was not something I was informed about.
Aww it's just a feeling I had
Dismiss suspicions as mere feelings without concrete evidence.
So if I'm right, you got to Lie To Me
If my suspicions are accurate, please lie to me about it.
Then I won't feel so bad
If you lie, I won't feel as hurt by the truth.
Because the truth would only hurt me
Facing the truth would be painful for me.
And that price is too big to pay
The consequences of knowing the truth are too great to bear.
So Lie To Me, Lie To Me, I'd rather have it that way
Prefer to be deceived, as it is a more tolerable option.
Now you may think I'm foolish for saying what I said
Anticipating criticism for expressing these thoughts.
But the truth could mean I'd lose you
Acknowledging that the truth might lead to losing the person.
So tell me a little lie instead
Opt for a small lie over the potential loss resulting from the truth.
Tel me that you love me and I'll believe every word you say
Desire to hear a comforting lie, particularly about love.
Even if you lie, lie, lie, li-i-ie,
Reiterate the preference for lies over painful truths.
I'd rather have it that way
Emphasize the preference for a deceptive but comforting narrative.
